Cody S. Schoenfelder fatally shot himself while on guard at the Marine Barracks in Washington, DC Friday night. It looks like an accidental shooting as the result of some game called &#8220;Trust&#8221;;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Two D.C. police officials said Schoenfelder was shot inside a guard shack and there was a second Marine with him at the time. Investigators are exploring the possibility that a gun accidentally discharged as the Marines were playing the game \u201cTrust,\u201d in which one points a weapon at the other, according to those two officials and a third person in law enforcement, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>As part of the game, one Marine pretends to load a magazine into a weapon, points it at another\u2019s head and says, \u201cDo you trust me?\u201d according to accounts in the Marine Corps Times. After getting an answer, the Marine holding the gun either pulls the trigger or lowers the weapon. Either way, there should not be any bullets fired.<\/p>\n<p>The Times paper has reported on service members convicted of manslaughter and court-<br \/>\nmartialed after accidental shootings. If Schoenfelder was killed while playing \u201cTrust,\u201d police say, something went terribly awry for him to have shot himself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When a loaded weapon is involved, I never have any trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post reports that 19-year-old Lance Cpl.
